On January 22, 2013 I pulled my last dip from my lip. It was te same time I began to feel some awful flu symptoms. I got the flu so bad that I slept for almost three days. When awake i coughed and wheezed so bad. When I can me out of that fog I realized that if I continue to dip and smoke that is how my breathing will be as I get older. I was sick from the flu, but it gave me a three day head start on my quit. I knew I had slept through the bad part of the quit. Now I am on day 10 or 11, depending when you start counting, and I feel great. Luckily I have been in an antibiotic that does not allow me to drink and that has helped as well I have also lost 6 pounds from not drinking.
I am excited about my new life and I am so proud of myself. Best of luck to all of us as we go down this road to a healthier life.
